A 13-year-old boy in Washington, DC, was shot and killed by a homeowner who claimed he was breaking into cars. The community is demanding the shooter's identity be revealed. 

Karon Blake was fatally shot with a legally registered firearm on Quincy Street around 4am on January 7 by an unidentified homeowner who heard noises outside of his home and thought someone was 'tampering with a vehicle,' DC Police reported. 

The teenager and the man reportedly got into a confrontation before the shooting occurred, and after shooting him, the homeowner did perform CPR. 

Blake, who was found by police with multiple gunshot wounds and is believed to have been unarmed, was taken to the hospital, where he later died. 

Two other youths are suspected of fleeing the scene after the homeowner approached them. 

Police also said they found a stolen car in the area and believed the Brookland Middle Schooler had used it, according to NBC Washington.  

Now, the local community is demanding the homeowner's identity be released and that he be charged with murder. 

DC Police have said they are talking to the US Attorney's Office to decide if charges should be fired. Identities are typically not released until charges are filed, but the community members are demanding a name now. 

'Vigilante behavior is not the way to go about it,' Frankie Seabron, a member of the DC Safety Squad - an activist group - said. 'We really should value people more than we value property.'

Maybe the shooter could be given luxury accommodations at Andrews AFB like the guy who shot Ashli Babbit.

We really should value people more than we value property.

Ya well it doesn’t look like the teen followed that..

When you attempt to take someone else’s property you run the risk of paying for it with your life.

I’m tired of ONLY “people” (life) mattering when it comes to punishment.

I’ve often stated to wronged liberals crying about how they were burglarized, cars broken into, play set vandalized, or they felt funny about the guy following them, that the police won’t do a darn thing.

You need to be dead, or MAYBE highly injured before they’ll bother to pursue anything.

We have dumbed down punishment to ONLY apply for this case, and yet crime of all kinds skyrockets.

[cableguymn]

No city to make a big pay out

[cableguymn]

When caught redhanded?

I bet we’d have a lot less car theft.

“We really should value people more than we value property.”

Then outlaw private property and see who really values what.

I believe that shooting thieves and rioters occasionally is a necessary part of maintaining civil order which saves lives and builds a productive society benefitting everyone.

“Outraged Community” is a few loud-mouth lefties.”

It takes a village to raise an idiot.

DC Safety Squad - an activist group

Not providing much safety, are they? Activists are almost universally a bunch of useless twats.

[NorthMountain]

they take matters BACK into their own hands

The police work for We the People, and hold only delegated authority. When the police fail to do their job, We the People have the right and duty to take authority back from the police, and keep the peace directly.

I agree. Three on one is disparity of force that justifies shooting if he felt sufficiently at risk. It ceased being about an attempted car theft once the altercation began, and I doubt the car owner initiated it.

I'm surprised Karon hasn't been identified as an “aspiring rapper.”

Next up will be the family releasing the obligatory photo of Karon wearing his kindergarten graduation gown. He was such a good boy don't you know.

Do you believe car thieves should be shot or hanged without a trial?

The Propaganda Media continually claims they're only thieves. They're often willing to try to murder people too:

You never know when the urge for Skittles and iced tea Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail used to make "Purple Drank" will hit.

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2012/06/what_the_media_choose_not_to_know_about_trayvon.html

"...Trayvon, with his hoodie up, grabs two items from the shelves of 7-11. One is the Skittles. The other is Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail. The media avoid the name of the real drink -- possibly because of the racial implications of the word "watermelon," but possibly to avoid probing the real reason for Trayon's trip.

Trayvon, in fact, had become a devotee of the druggy concoction known as "Lean," also known in southern hip-hop culture as "Sizzurp" and "Purple Drank." Lean consists of three basic ingredients -- codeine, a soft drink, and candy. If his Facebook postings are to be believed, Trayvon had been using Lean since at least June 2011.  

On June 27, 2011, Trayvon asks a friend online, "unow a connect for codien?" He tells the friend that "robitussin nd soda" could make "some fire ass lean." He says, "I had it before" and that he wants "to make some more." On the night of February 26, if Brandy had some Robitussin at home, Trayvon had just bought the mixings for one "fire ass lean" cocktail."

Vigilante behavior is the ONLY way to deal with these feral thugs. When these feral thugs realize their choices can result in their death they will stop being lil’ thugs.

And perhaps his friends will think twice before committing crimes……..

My Daddy had a saying he used to use on me when I was complaining about life... and this saying is a catch all to this as well...

“You are where you are in life because you put yourself there...”

In this case and many others, simply swap Life with Death and the saying becomes profound...

[Chickensoup]

Another lying inflammatory headline.

There were 3 thugs and this dead one attacked.

13 year old out at 4 am? I wonder if his daddy knew where he was? 🤓
